Johnson is another "lost filmmaker, who worked out of Coronado, California. This film boasts beautiful color footage of old Baja, before Pemex stations lined the Cuota and Libre. Hunt travels from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas, enchantingly stopping at the waterless village of Magdalena Bay, Tortuga Bay, and the vineyards at Santo Tomás.

I think a fair number of people would love to go back to this way of life. Simple and honest! Too bad it's gone forever...I wonder how much of the Baja looks like this today?

This material can be very usefull for any person studying the history of Baja California, because there are very few footage or videos of Baja California, and its towns.

Thansk for sharing
